I think some native English speakers wouldn't be able to pass a fluency test. See how well you do!

I disagreed with them on Q4. Having thought about it, I still do.

I think that there is some room for manoeuvre on that one.

I got 9 out of 10 correct. I also missed Number 4; I don't think I agree with their choice either.
I almost got snagged on Number 1 because of the tense. I thought it might be a trick question because it seemed like the correct answer would have combined both past and present tenses.
Thanks Accountable, this was fun.

You've spent so long outside the country that you just about qualify for EFL by now, Krammy.

I only got #4 wrong as well. I think we are quickly making "about" the correct answer. In fact, I have no doubt about it.

:yh_giggleThe OED examples use "doubt about" 46 times and "doubt over" 3 times, as in:
there is doubt over how far the communists have
considerable doubt over the validity of such project
throw the veil of doubt over all the rest
in contrast to
leave us in no doubt about his feelings towards
and also, no doubt, about my kind words
leaves no doubt about their position
leaves no room for doubt about a reading
have a nagging doubt about the possible consequences of
the growing doubt about European Monetary Union
entertain no doubt about cold Fern houses becoming in
there was no doubt about his gameness
those who are in doubt about their next year's quarters
and leaves no doubt about its involvement in
and so on.

I disagree with the result in Q4. Also, I think Q9 does not accord with reality.
8/10 BTW.
